That is very scary & sad too.

I always call the credit card company & let them when we are out of town - I also check my account on-line frequently. Especially if I think something is hinky.

We just returned from a trip to NY and we paid our last taxi with a CC - the machine kept saying DID NOT GO THROUGH - once it did & we checked in to the hotel I went on line & sure enough - it had gone through 3 times!!

I called the card & they said the charges were still pending & that I would have to wait until the taxi actually put the charges through - she did make a note on my account so if I called back they would be aware.

Luckily - the taxi only changed us once - but still - you need to be proactive when it comes to your money!!

Sorry to hear that.
